Anyway, I am VERY skeptical of western medicine though my life has been saved more than once by modern medical advances. I do my best to stay away from doctors and medicine.

Yes...they have studied all of this! Deaths from AIDS are actually due to these infections and opportunistic cancers, not due to the virus itself. Treatment for HIV has actually been a huge success. Being diagnosed is no longer a death sentence. Medications are much better and less likely to cause major side effects like pancreatitis. People with HIV now are treated like patients with chronic disease, not patients who are terminal.
As for staying away from doctors and medicine, a dose of preventative medicine goes a long way!
